Missing the AIR target for OpenFL apps

[zacdevon]

I’ve downloaded the latest FlashDevelop & HaxeDevelop and have created a new OpenFL app. However in the drop down choice, AIR is missing. Therefore I cannot access any of the AIR APIs with OpenFL apps. Alternatively if I create a normal AIR Haxe app and try to add OpenFL that crashes with hundreds of build errors. So there is no way to target AIR apps with OpenFL?

Maybe take a read on this topic see if it helps.

Official support for Adobe AIR

I wanted to mention quickly that we are adding official support for Adobe AIR in OpenFL 6.1 (which has just been released on haxelib) Adobe AIR support is not new to OpenFL, as I know many developers who already run adt themselves to package OpenFL Flash projects for use with Adobe AIR, but the new Lime 5.4 tools support a new “air” target which should help simplify the tooling. It’s all new, so I’d love to hear your feedback and any edge cases you run into. Pull requests are also welcome :wink…

The AIR topic is fairly new, so FlashDevelop has not added it to its hard-coded set of targets for OpenFL

However, the list in FlashDevelop is editable, so go ahead and type in “air” in the drop-down, and give it try

I did this and it worked. Thank you so much!
